wrong knobs, wrong meter.... the front panel is missing some things... like the mounting hole for the meters lamp

power light on the rh side?

am I missing something or is this a clone trying to be passed off as the real thing?
 
I emailed and asked if he could tell me the year on it and if he has some other picture angles

convienently it is cropped right where the rack ears are supposed to be

and there are no thumb screws or something similar to hold it closed...

all it really looks like is a panel dressed out to look kind of like an LA2... and a bad one at that
 
HOLY SHIT

I thnk thats my artwork!!!

I remember the original had the limit/compress and on/off text TOO close to the switches...

see how close they are?

GOD DAMMIT!!
 
Hey Scenaria, Slam him with a copyright lawsuit. :mad: Next you'll see bloo on the face plate. Notice the Artwork in the background at his other auctions. Looks like the LA2a controvertial artwork :razz: . Home made so you won?t get a year. Ripp off is a copy, right? :shock: or copy right. I'm saving my pennies for a bloo. That sounds peculiar.

Anyway beware :wink:
 
Dooooood!!!

-The bastard is copying your copyrighted copy of that copyrighted stuff!

I'm ready to send in the Nukes!

:wink:

Actually, he's no stranger to buying and selling bits & pieces of LA2a's...

...So it's a 'clone'... and not even a good one.

note to all the geniuses in the world:

when you try to rip people off on ebay, its probably smart that you dont offer the reproduction faceplate you used to make your $1800 clone in another auction running at the same time...

check his other auctions.

maybe he just thinks his clone is worth $1800...

...plus it's photographed in front of RON's LA-2A LAYOUT!!! (cayacosta)

if its a clone then you should state its a clone.. his auction is trying to make it sound as if its an original...

either case... I dont really give a rats ass... seeing how the original artwork had to be redone anyhow :)

they guy isnt the sharpest pencil in the bunch :roll:
 
ok

What a gooch! Maybe he's not a slime. Probably just dumb. But smart enough to build an LA2A clone. Probably has 60 cycle hum up the ass, too.
 
you can buy a decent clone-ish thing w/jensens for $1K w/ warranty.

For $1800 I dont want scenaria's throw away art...

dave
 
thats cause you want the bloo for $1800 :green:
